Anna + James | Donegal Wedding Photographers

I loved this Donegal wedding. It’s always good to get back there, for one thing. But Anna and James had something about them that I found magnetic too. They were a bit camera shy, I suppose, like many of us. And as often happens, that can lead to more natural photos. Perhaps that’s not what you’d expect, but it’s true – and it’s perfect for story-telling photography. You don’t have to love being in front of the camera.

So, anyway, I loved the way this one unfolded. Plus, it was sunny. Win win.

Here we go …

Reception venue: Downings Bay Hotel

Clandeboye Lodge wedding photographer | Ash + Colly

There were quiet bits to last summer, I’m sure. But it was busy. Four weeks after shooting Steph and Jonny’s wedding, I was with Ash and Colly on a gorgeous summer day at the Clandeboye Lodge. It was awesome. Ash and Colly were the nicest couple to work with, even climbing up onto the old Holywood jetty without a grumble.

I try to avoid portraits that feel posed or clichéd, but those rainbow shots do take the p*** a bit, I suppose. But honestly, the rainbow just appeared as we were getting some evening photos. Right on cue. I was very glad of it too.

Here’s my pick of the day’s shots …

Kathryn + Timmy | wedding photographer Galgorm Resort and Spa

I can’t think back to Kathryn and Timmy’s wedding last summer without remembering how insanely sunny it was. The sky was cloudless. The whole day had a Mediterranean feeling to it. I do love a bit of shade sometimes, but when Northern Ireland gets weather like this, it’s pretty sweet! My pasty white face might even have picked up a bit of a tan.

Kathryn and Timmy were such a pleasure to be around too, but then I already knew they would be. I hope you enjoy my pick of their images …
